Dear Jim and all- This plant is one that I have not been able to place with a name with any certainty but I can be sure it is not Crinum oliganthum. It has been around for a number of years in the trade as Crinum sp. Thailand and has been exported by a number of ginger and tropical plant growers though it still isn't that common in cultivation. It is apparently wild collected there and some of the Thai growers have contacted me trying to answer the same question - if it was Crinum oliganthum as well. The characteristics to separate them that are easiest to see are the much higher bud counts and larger scapes and the typical offset formation at the basal plate on the Thailand Crinum while true Crinum oliganthum typically has much slighter scapes with rarely up to 4 buds but often 1 or 2 and offsets are produced on stolons. (There is at least on Crinum oliganthum hybrid out there in the trade that look very similar to C. oliganthum in shape and size but has bud counts up to 6-8 called Bayou Travaler but still the Thai plants have more buds). The Thailand plant I have grown has bulbs with short necks that get up to large hen egg sized or slightly bigger. I have one other Thailand origin plant that I got labeled Crinum gracilis. It looks very similar to the other Thailand plant but has leaves that narrow to more acuminate tips and has a glaucous gray cast to the foliage but the size, growth habits, and flowers are very similar this Crinum sp. Thailand. There are a number of species that are reasonably small which helps make them easier potted plants. Trick still is a pot still large enough for the roots and bulb still and as you know the trick with smaller pots is they dry out faster. Also as the bulbs mature and offset, is there space for those. As a result even though some crinums can grow in a 6 pot for a time, I would recommend even growing Crinum oliganthum in at 8-10 inch pot or larger for best performance long term and most of these below would be happier in a 12-16 pot or larger. Most of these small or smaller species of Crinum are harder to find but available in cultivation. Crinum purpurascens Crinum hanitrae Crinum lavrani Crinum razafindratsiraea Crinum bracteatum Crinum caribaeum With hybrids I would consider Ms. Nancy, Zan Gypsy and the C. oliganthum hybrid Menehume, which are all compact plants. There some others that at smaller plants but not widely available yet. All the best Alani Davis Tallahassee, Florida
